History

Dukowski wanted to start playing again so he began playing with a drummer in December 2012.[3][2] He invited his wife, Lora Norton, to contribute vocals[3] and after a few years his step-son Milo Gonzalez[1] joined as guitarist at the age of sixteen.[2]

Dukowski has said that CD6 is the most collaborative band he has been in since Würm with each member having a say in songwriting[1] although Lora handles the lyric writing.[2]

The band's first album, Eat My Life, was released on Dukowski's own label Nice & Friendly Records.[8] A second album, Reverse the Polarity, was also released on Nice & Friendly Records. In 2010, Jeff Bowers of ORG Music persuaded the band to join his label.[1] After joining, CD6 released a split 7" with Mike Watt + The Missingmen.[1][9] A third album, Haunted, was released on ORG.[1]
